162 Zero-degree angle lob
"There are a lot of teams in London but we only have one favourite opponent and that's Tottenham Hotspur because it's always easy to win against them......
Before the Tottenham and Chelsea match began, the stands at Stamford Bridge were filled with the chant of Chelsea fans mocking the Spurs.
Even though the soundproofing of the dressing room at Stamford Bridge was very good, Chen Xi and his teammates could still vaguely hear the songs.
"I'm sure you've heard it, the Chelsea people are singing happily! They seem to be right, and we haven't beaten them since 1990! I don't know what you guys think, anyway, as the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, I will feel ashamed and ashamed when I hear this kind of singing! Hoddle apparently heard the Chelsea fans singing as well, and he stood up and said.
Chen Xi and his teammates obviously didn't like to hear the song either, or rather, no Tottenham person would be happy to hear it.
"Now, there is an opportunity in front of us. At Stamford Bridge, the opponent is Chelsea, and by winning this game, we can shut up the Chelsea people completely! Hoddle's purpose in saying this was naturally to stir up the morale of the players, so he added at the right time.
"Take Chelsea and shut them up!" Chen Xi and his teammates shouted with fighting spirit.
…… Boom~~~ Huge cheers erupted in the stands at Stamford Bridge.
"Okay, the players from both teams have played, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams......"
As the highlight of this round, Sky TV also chose to broadcast the game. With Paul Mortensen's words, the starting line-ups for both teams were played on the TV screen:
Chelsea starting XI (4-4-2):
Goalkeepers: CudiciniDefenders: Melchiott, Terry, Galla, BabayaroMidfielders: Glen Shial, Lampard, Pettit, ZendenForwards: Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink's two veterans Desailly and Gianfranco Zola are both injured, with John Terry and Gudjohnsen taking their place......
Tottenham Hotspur starting XI (4-4-2):
Goalkeepers: KellerDefenders: Karl, Ledley King, Gardner, Ziggy Midfielders: Simon Davies, Redknapp, Friend, Edison Chan Forwards: Sheringham, Robbie Keane" For Tottenham, Richards strained his calf muscles due to pre-match training, and young centre-back Gardner was in the starting line-up. New winter striker Morientes is still unavailable, but is in the squad. ”
Standing on the pitch of Stamford Bridge, all that caught his eyes was blue, thinking of the songs they sang before, Chen Xi's heart was extremely eager to conquer here!
From the start of the game, the Chelsea side at home had a clear strategy of using the speed of the two wing-backs to attack Tottenham's two wings, and then exploit the ability of the two strikers in the middle to grab the ball and take chances.
Chelsea's Frank Lampard has a decent ability to score from behind, but he is clearly not the absolute heart of the team's attack as he has been in the future. As a result, Chelsea don't attack particularly often in the middle, and Frank Lampard doesn't have many chances to get the ball on the edge of the box.
This offensive style is monotonous, but it also has good results. Although Hasselbaink is not tall, he is extremely powerful. Goodjohnsen is a combination of speed and power.
So, after the break, Chelsea had a couple of good chances in a row. It also made the Chelsea fans in the stands sing even more vigorously, and in their opinion, if nothing else, this game will be won by their team.
Just when the Chelsea fans were complacent, Chen Xi gave them a dismount!
Chen Xi, who won the ball on the left side, faced Melchiott's defense, pretended to go to the bottom, but in fact, he cut inside, and shot directly before Petit came over!
"Edison volleyed straight away!"
"Oh~~~ Cudicini's wonderful save!! He saved Edison's shot of great quality! ”
Although the goal was not scored, it made the Chelsea fans in the stands break out in a cold sweat.
When Chen Xi went to take a corner, he also took the opportunity to incite the Tottenham fans behind the Chelsea goal. The cries of Tottenham fans overshadowed Chelsea fans for a while.
Then Chen Xi's corner kick was also of very high quality, and the ball flew directly in front of Gardner at the front point!
It's a pity that Gardner headed the ball high under Glen Schal's interference.
Withstanding Tottenham's attack, Chelsea also played a wonderful combination in the next round of attack.
A succession of passes moved the ball up front and Lampard fed the ball to Zenden on the left, who then passed it straight to Hasselbaink, who dropped back to take the ball. The Dutchman got the ball back to Frank Lampard!
Frank Lampard picked up his right foot in the face of the incoming ball and seemed to be about to shoot!
After attracting the defense, he suddenly turned the ball into a push and played the ball to the middle of the penalty area!
Gudjohnsen pleases Gardner's defense and goes straight into the box!
The unusually focused Keller went on the ball after Frank Lampard's pass, so by the time Gudjohnsen got up to shoot, he was in front of the Icelander!
Gudjohnsen was clearly a little unprepared for Keller's attack, and in a hurry, he kicked the ball directly at Keller's feet, and the ball bounced off the line!
'It was a brilliant combination from Chelsea to tear apart the Tottenham defence, but luckily Keller came in time to defuse the crisis!'
Oh~~~ There were also regretful sighs from Chelsea fans in the stands.
Goodjohnsen was also annoyed, and he regretted why he didn't choose to pass Keller!
In fact, this is an important difference between a top striker and a regular striker. When faced with an opportunity, a top striker is able to remain calm and choose the most appropriate way to handle the ball. The average striker will be hot-headed like Gudjohnsen just now, and as a result, he will miss out on opportunities.
In the following period, both teams stepped up their midfield scrambles. The ball often struggled to get through the midfield, and as a result, the game was in a stalemate.
With almost half an hour to go, Tottenham's midfielder made a tackle and Friend attacked on the spot, handing the ball to Redknapp.
Redknapp received the ball and turned around and stuffed it to Sheringham, who dropped back to get the ball.
Sheringham had his back to Terry but couldn't turn around, and he had to pass the ball back to Redknapp.
Redknapp didn't stop the ball, but directly hoisted the ball to the left side of the penalty area, because he had seen Chen Xi insert it at high speed.
It's a pity that Redknapp's foot drop pass was a little bigger, and when Chen Xi chased the ball, it was already near the bottom line. At this time, Gala also took the opportunity to come over.
With his back against Gala, Chen Xi protected the ball and was looking for a route to pass the ball!
At this time, Sheringham rushed into the penalty area, ready to receive Chen Xi's pass, and Chen Xi immediately raised his foot and prepared to pass!
Gala apparently saw Sheringham as well, so he reacted quickly and stretched his leg to cut off Chen's pass.
At this time, Chen Xi made an unexpected move!
I saw that his raised right foot did not put down, but the left foot, which was used as a supporting foot, rotated in place for half a circle, and rubbed the ball up in the middle!
In such a situation, Chen Xi was able to hoist the ball towards the middle of the road, which really surprised the Chelsea defenders, and Cudicini, who was standing in front of the goal, did not expect this.
However, just as Robbie Keane in front of goal and Simon Davis in the middle were about to grab the point, they found that the ball was not passed to them, but drew a clear arc and flew directly towards the back post!
Edison turned and crossed...... No, is the ball a shot? ”
Cudicini, who was standing in front of goal, was caught off guard by the goal, and he could only stand still and look up as the ball passed over his head and into the back of the net behind him.
“unbelievable!!! Unbelievable goal!! This is a zero-degree angle hanging door!! Edison! Edison! Edison!!! Once again, he gave us an incredible goal! It's a world wave! 1-0, Tottenham took the lead! ”
Tottenham fans behind the Chelsea goal got an up-close look at the goal and were excited to get up from their seats as soon as the ball went over Cudicini's head. And when the ball flew into the goal, they burst into a huge cheer!
Hoddle on the sidelines was also shocked by Chen Xi's incredible goal here. Even though he knew that Chen Xi was a player who could surprise people, he still couldn't hide his surprise every time he faced Chen Xi's wonderful and unbelievable goals!
After the goal, Chen Xi rushed directly to the stands where the nearby Chelsea fans were. I saw him arrogantly sparse the index finger of his right hand in front of his mouth.
Shut your mouths! Forget that damn record! Because it's coming to an end!! Chen Xi thought of it with high spirits.
After a short period of shock, seeing Chen Xi's provocation, the stands at Stamford Bridge suddenly resounded with earth-shattering boos!
"Oh~~~ Edison, this is obviously a powerful response to the song sung by the Chelsea fans before the game! Edison never seems to hide his emotions and chooses to vent every time, and this is not the first time he has provoked the away fans. Perhaps he has become the least popular away player. However, his approach can cause Tottenham fans to love him wildly! He's always scored amazing goals, he's such a combination of devil and angel! ”
